Several Muppet sketches took place in prehistoric times starring [[Ernie]], paired with either [[Bert]] (as either his dad or his son) or [[Sherlock Hemlock]] (as "The Royal Smart Person"). Each one with Ernie and Bert contained a narrator, who would help translate their utterings of "ooga-mooga-mooga" and such. Later sketches were titled '''Caveman Days''' and '''Caveperson Days'''.

Several Muppet sketches took place in prehistoric times starring Ernie, paired with either Bert (as either his dad or his son) or Sherlock Hemlock (as "The Royal Smart Person"). Each one with Ernie and Bert contained a narrator, who would help translate their utterings of "ooga-mooga-mooga" and such. Later sketches were titled Caveman Days and Caveperson Days.
